What Asian Community Outreach does
Mission
Our mission is connecting communities, caring for those in need & creating opportunities for a better tomorrow.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The connecting communities program (ccp). This program is a joint partnership with the west michigan asian american association, inc. The ccp provides vocational english-as-a-second-language courses, naturalization test preparation courses, job skills training opportunities, workshops and educational seminars on topics relating to employment (e.g., resume writing, technical skills training opportunities) and financial security (e.g., credit basics, banking, estate planning) for adult asians in kent county. The program also provides incidental benefits such as transportation to and from program services and opportunities to connect with employers in kent county. Program partners include heart of west michigan united way and calvin university.
$10,462 spent90% of program spendingAsian Community Outreach food box distribution program. New for 2020, this program replaced the organization's previous mobile food pantry distribution program. The program provides boxes of nonperishable pantry staples commonly used in asian cooking to vulnerable individuals (e.g., the elderly, the disabled, individuals with higher risk of serious illness from covid-19) and struggling households (e.g., low-income households) in the asian community in kent county. Food box items include staples such as rice, cooking oil, dried noodles, seasoning sauces, coffee, tea, among others. Past boxes have also included medicinal ointment and covid-19 care kits with kn95 masks, cloth face masks, sanitizer and thermometers. Aco purchases items from a local asian-owned small business. Covid-19 care kits are supplied by the kent county health department. The organization also provides delivery of boxes to individuals who lack transportation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $53k to $82k (+54%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of ASIAN COMMUNITY OUTREACH’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ASIAN COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
